CONDITION MONITORING FOR POWER TRANSFORMERS C. D. UPADHYAY ME SECOND SEMESTER
Doubts raised by users • Whether oil filteration or dry out • Criterions of stopping dryout/filteration • Whether overhauling/reinsulation • Frequency of condition monitoring • Oil mixing ---------- preconditions • Dissolved Gas Analyis
OIL PAPER Wood (treated / parmali WINDING TANK LEADS OLTC BUSHING COOLING BANKS/ HEAT EXCHANGER AUXILIARIES Areas of concern
IMPORTANT STANDARDS TRANSFORMER USER SHOULD KNOW • IS 335 • IS 12463 • IS 1866 • IS 2099 • IS 2026
PROCESS OF OVERHAULING TESTING POST SHUT DOWN OBSERVATIONS P.t.o
POST SHUT DOWN OBSERVATIONS(CONT..) OIL DRAINING DISMANTLING
GASKET REPLACEMENT INTERNAL INSPECTION PREPARING TRS FOR EVACUATION N2 PRESSURE TEST
IEEE GUIDELINES INTERNAL Inspection Winding - Lead clamping Winding support system Clamping Insulation discoloration Lead distortion Lead movement Indications of hot spots
IEEE GUIDELINES INTERNAL Inspection • Loose connections - Tap leads Bushings Terminal Boards Spacers Core bolt nuts. • Physical status- Contacts Operating mechanism Coupling shafts Shielding
IEEE guidelines for Internal Inspection • Oil- Odour Color Moisture Free Water • Discoloration- Tank walls Bushing Terminals Corona shields Copper connectors Bus bars
Vacuumdrying Vacuum drying is based on the principle of Thermodynamics Boiling point of moisture in insulation isreduced by way of PressureReductionPrinciple Thermal energy needs to be impartedexternally for achieving faster and better moisture extraction
Vacuum drying( continued) Under vacuum (pressure reduction)boiling point of water reduces to 500c medium of heating can be Old oil Nitrogen Hot air other methods of heating are also under use.
Prepare TRS for evacuation Fill N2over air to get pressure 0.2KG/CM2 Process of dryout Attend leakages
